It’s the little things that encourage me to shimmer, make me want to shake my thang and basically have a little party all to myself!

So hold tight – here’s a round up of all the things that helped make this week a little more bearable.

Fairy card pull 270316 — Energy cards telling me how to spend my break!

2 flowers — Fresh flowers always make me smile

aspire book of quotes — This little book of inspiration from Aspire

avo smash — Avocado smash – just because

If I had to give this week a title it would be ” Life can be tough, but you got this”

Stay strong and keep smiling,

Welcome to another whirlwind tour of my wonderful week – it’s been a week of inspirational words and a few treats (and not to mention it’s Mothers day!).

Lovely words and an even more lovely necklace

Hadn’t realised how many quotes and words had sneaked into my daily life this week. If you want to know how important words are to me, check out this post.

Enjoy the upcoming week and don’t forget to look for the magic.

Things you need to know about me #4

March 3, 2016June 20, 2016 ~ Nicky M ~ 1 Comment

I believe in the power of a smile.

I am passionate about helping people find their smile.

I tell the children that I work with that my superpower is to help everyone smile (I have the cape to prove it!). In my role I offer support, a listening ear, space to chill or reflect and strategies to help their situation.

I do all this in the name of smiling.

Smiling is good for your health – your physical health and also your mental health. It can change a situation, break down barriers and just make someone feel a little better about themselves or a situation they’re in. And that someone might be you.

We all need to add a little ‘smile’ into our lives and the lives of others.

I enjoy smiling at strangers – more often than not they smile back.

I enjoy making others smile – a gift, a kind word of praise, a shared moment.

I enjoy making myself smile – a little self care, wearing something pretty, doing something I love.

It is an integral part of my day. I cannot go a whole day without finding a smile or planning something to make someone else smile.

I love sharing the feeling these smiles bring . I take photos of the everyday things that make me smile and post them on social media (find me on Instagram shimmerwithin).

Smiles are magical, powerful, contagious.

Find your smile today…then pass it on.
